GSM can improve to the point of being unusable.  the mobile is
constantly looking for the 30 strongest BTS's [cells] (some of
this BTS/MTS stuff is cached in the SIM) and i've seen a case
where it could see so many BTS's that it just didn't work.  i
was on a hill that overlooked a town.  up on the hill [home]
my mobile didn't work, but in town it did.

this is all emperical data and a theory, but i had a coupla
months to puzzle over it.
